Chongqing will build Asia's largest LED sapphire substrate base

Street lights can be as smart as the human brain". Recently, the reporter learned in Chongqing District of Beibei city street, here are a new decoration, in addition to the appearance, its biggest characteristic is can not only automatically switch lights according to the dark degree, also intelligent adjusting light intensity. Is a person in charge of on-site inspection line told reporters, these lamps are new for this winter on Intelligent LED lighting production in Chongqing by the Chinese Silian Instrument Group Co. Ltd., has been installed more than 20 thousand units, covering more than 20 kilometers north of Chongqing to Beibei Expressway and the entire city of Beibei, which is currently the world's the largest city of intelligent LED street lighting system.

The current installation of street lighting system is a microcosm of the quad group to achieve a breakthrough in the field of sapphire in China, in the industry to achieve the integration of upstream and downstream industry to complete a microcosm of the layout. Four group deputy general manager Liu Shaoyun said, LED (also known as sapphire sapphire substrate) laser cutting is the key step in LED manufacturing process nowadays, this field has finally been China enterprise voice. Prior to this, Japan, Switzerland and the United States equipment has occupied nearly 80% of the market share in the field.

The reporter learned that, according to the actual energy consumption test, LED lamps installed in the new Chongqing District of Beibei City, the energy consumption reduced by more than 60%; and the use of intelligent system for unified management, but also can realize the consumption of 25%, and behind all this, have benefited from the four group of technological innovation in the LED industry chain. However, the group's LED dream is far more than this. It is reported that Sapphire - epitaxial wafer (chip) - Packaging - LED lamps - LED chip, as a strategic emerging industries and the overall layout of the intervention, is the real ambition of four. At present, such as chip core technology is also mastered in the hands of a small number of foreign companies. Liu Shaoyun introduction, the fourth group is now aimed at the Chinese national industry blank.

As the domestic intelligent instrument giant quadruple group, is the largest in the country, the most complete categories of products, the most comprehensive system of integrated automation instrumentation manufacturing enterprises. Zhang Jun, chief engineer of the introduction of the group, the company in the LED of this new industry emboldened, in recent years, the rapid development of the relevant business areas in sapphire. Zhang Jun said that in 2009 the rapid completion of the world's top 500 Honeywell sapphire business acquisition and localization production, four group in LED based materials as sapphire field can be described as a stride forward singing militant songs. At present, Europe, the Americas, Japan, Korea, and many domestic manufacturers, have been ordered to order a four star sapphire substrate.

It is expected that by 2015, Chongqing will build Asia's largest sapphire substrate base, the formation of 18 million annual production capacity, output value of nearly $10 billion, is expected to occupy a global market share of 30%. Today, the quadruple group has exceeded the overall size of the instrument industry ceiling, the official formation of the integrated circuit, LED industry and rail automation three plates. It is expected that in 2015, four group's total output value will reach 21 billion 500 million yuan, of which, LED industry output value accounted for half of the country in the future.
